Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Marli S.P. Azevedo's research focuses on viral infections and detection methods, with a significant emphasis on SARS-CoV-2. Her work includes investigating the interactions between the SARS-CoV-2 trimeric spike protein and ACE2, as well as studying conformational changes in the receptor binding domain and predicting B-cell antigenic epitopes using structural data. Azevedo has examined the temporal dynamics and variants of concern of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater influent from metropolitan areas in Arkansas and has published on wastewater datasets related to SARS-CoV-2 sublineages post-pandemic.

Her research also extends to the direct detection and identification of viruses in saliva using mass spectrometry. Azevedo has contributed to understanding alphacoronaviruses found in human patients with acute respiratory illness in various countries. Her broader interests include nanotechnology in vaccines and personalized medicine. Azevedo leads a research group and has a scholarly record with an h-index of 29, 73 total publications, and 2,325 total citations. Key collaborators include Lisa Mullis, Volodymyr Tryndyak, Camila Silva, and Luísa Camacho, all from the National Center for Toxicological Research.
